Several people part of a Salmonella outbreak in Denmark tasted or ate raw or undercooked sausage, according to a recently published study.
In November 2018, an outbreak of monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium was detected. It sickened at least 49 people across the country.
A traditional form of raw Danish pork sausage called medister sausage was believed to be the source of illnesses. Product samples were negative for Salmonella and investigations at the production site did not reveal the source of contamination. Medister sausage is often served in the late autumn months and Christmas season. It is a long, thick sausage made from ground pork, seasoned and stuffed into casings.
Due to a control program, Salmonella Enteritidis is all but eliminated in Danish broiler poultry and egg production but Salmonella Typhimurium still exists in pigs and pork.
